SOS Bros React - Mushoku Tensei Season 2 Episode 22 - Parents 

Wow I've read the Light novel and some redundancy chapter but totally missed that part

​@lightbringer6567 if you haven't read the dragon tales yet, it's amazing.

Holy shit i didnt even think about that WTF

​@@lightbringer6567and his other is named Hulk.

Bro how did you even know that is so hard to find

I have never seen this chunk in the web novel. Is it in the light novel version?

@@CairoShane It's in the Paul Gaiden. It deals with Paul's life between his birth and Rudeus' birth. Only the first two arcs of it got released in the discontinued mobile game, but the devs released the entire transcript and it's now floating on the internet.

More of Rudy having zero toki(battle aura) unlike Paul.

@@user-db2uj9vc7s Paul also didnt get recoil from kicking Rudy away, becuase of his Toki battle aura negating it. Meaning he was hit due to being too good of a swordsman

He saw the hydra's attacks but couldn't comprehend what he was seeing in time. It was battle experience that allowed Paul to understand the situation and save Rudy

Rudy wasn't able to use his eye of foresight because the Hydra was too big for him to comprehend was he was looking at

Well technically the need for burning bodies in this world has been established all the way back on Demon continent.

Yeah, that has mega rarely been seen in other reaction comments, as far as I've seen.

It's a huge whiplash, but thinking about it now, it also may have been intended as a way to get viewers to spend time with their father.

Paul is actually the type of person that would be in a "my role model" type of essay. After being mostly a not impressive or commendable person, he rose to the occasion and single handedly lead the entire search and rescue operation for all displaced people, saving probably tens of thousand of people. He also abstained from any sexual activity for 6 years just to stay faithful to zenith, even though he was married to lilia as well (of course, except a succumbus encounter). He's the shit, so he should be respected more

I mean even when he was younger he was still a genius that was fairly sharp all in all. Noticing stuff like how codependent Rudeus was getting with little context. Building up a fairly powerful friend network early on in life without his noble name as a backing and stuff like that.

Paul's passing is a key emotional moment, but my peak pain is that one thing that doesn't happen. Just knowing "crystallizes" the sorrow.

Yes. Sleeping outside the marriage is moreso a neutral action than a negative or positive. Now the funniest part is that this world has very heavy parallels to our world in terms of sexual dynamics. Widespread male monogamy in our world only became a thing once the West became dominant around the world and spread the Christian marriage values to non-Christian countries like Japan or China. Prior to the Westernization and Christianization of the world, most countries and empires allowed male polygyny whether in official marriage or unofficial intercourse. Multiple wives, harems, s3x slaves, concubines, prostitutes. All these were extremely common throughout the non-Christian world including Japan. Male monogamy only became the standard in Japan after WW2 when the Us westernized the nation.

Damn.

no it's from the drama cd

It’s from an official drama cd of the LN chapter adaptated in the episode

I'll leave a comment here to those who want spoilers When hitogami urged rudeus to marry and bear children with Linea/Pursena, he was terrified about his reunion with roxy. Hitogami knows that the child born from Rudeus and Roxy (Lara) because she is the one who eventually defeats Hitogami. The only reason he tried to stop Rudeus from going to the teleportation labyrinth is because he knew Rudeus would save Roxy and eventually bare Lara. In the dark timeline Hitogami plays Rudeus like a puppet so he opens the basement door, letting lose a rat which eventually infects the pregnant Roxy, preventing Lara from being born

yep

The monolog is canon, only the video is fanmade.

@@Vatsu03 I remember that read this part in novel but I can't find it anymore. Everybody saying that I'm insane...

From a audio version of that chapter, specifically it was a dvd written by the author

To be precise, search mushoku tensei cd drama

Especially with alot of context that happens before and after skipped over.

Whoever did must have spoiled Paul’s death to thek

Their guard was too lowered 😅

That was the voice actor for the CD drama. Different from the voice actor for the anime. それはCDドラマの声優だった。アニメの声優とは違う。

I think its more so, they don't want Sylphiette hurt by Rudy's actions to sleep with another women similar to Zeniths disbelief and sadness Paul has done

Just to remind you, in Japan infidelity is also openly condemned, so the whole situation should be explicitly seen through author's design and how he justifies polygamy in his own fantasy world, there's no real connection to 'western narrow minded views', I think

True, I live in central Asia, so it's always funny to me how all reactors shocked by multiple wives.

Spoilers below. It's just narrow minded views in general. Not only "western" or whatever. It's also very personal insecurity ego thing(understandably so, for the most part). Hence in a lot of modern culture, it's such a huge deal. Why "ntr" is infamous and it's the big thing to warn about it. While truly disgusting "genres" receive much less disdain. In fact, they are often promoted publicly and no one cares(used to get some of those YT community posts from 1 channel a lot until I blocked it, some had thousands of upvotes). I don't even want to say the "genres", you can probably guess when it comes to that sort of henta i content. One starts with an L, other starts with an R. Even huge anime YT-bers I have seen years ago promoting such. Quite nasty, to put it mildly. But, all of that is why (typically a guy), even if the person is technically r*ped (by our current legal standards), most people still blame him for "cheating" and attack him(or laugh at him, or say he liked it). Most of which is also due to dogma and personal ego insecurity. Like "someone cheating on me is the worst thing ever, hurt, betrayal etc. So I hate cheaters, most disgusting" Like there is nothing worse. Especially with how it was adapted in the anime (the changes were actually very good, especially with the cuts that were made, though I do wish a bit more was shown in the anime, but limited time and all)-lemme start over Especially with how it was adapted in the anime, if roles(genders) were reversed, internet will be screaming about Rudeus being a predator and a r*pist. Oh boy, people will have field day. But since it's other way around, most people blame Rudeus almost entirely. Even though he was under extreme duress and in no shape mentally to consent to something like that. Calling him a "cheater" and crapping on him. Even worse in some ways, comparing to a sober guy coming onto a severely drunk girl. There are laws for a reason, including for providing testimony under mental duress(and physical), making it inadmissable in court. Ey, even Sylphie had no faith in him. Sad lmao Even tho we know he was devoted and 100% honest when he vows to be faithful. Obviously what happened next ep. was under extreme circumstances. If he was mentally stable and not half dead, he would 100% not have done that. (certainly not at the time) Some need to stop acting like he went out and picked up a random chic. Sylphie hurting my bois feelings lol (Mylphie is top tho) Well, there is more to these relationships, if you read the LN. Between Roxy and Sylphie too. I ain't gonna spoil it potentially. In any case, it's people that really share love and have a deep connection, under extreme/special circumstances. Real relationships.

@tengenforger4944 , its not just about what is the western view of what a family should be, problem is Rudeus not holding his promise to Sylphie, if he were honest with his desire to polygamy from the begin with, it would not be a problem
